Anatomy of a Shark, a new, rollicking crime drama by M. G. Akins, is a hit with readers and reviewers alike. You will love it, too!
H. N. Hirsch, who writes the Bob & Marcus Mystery series published by Pisgah Press, says the new novel is “a great read . . . full of colorful characters and sly insight.”
Diane Donovan of Midwest Book Review (also published on her blog, donovansliteraryservices.com) writes:
“Readers of novels about crime families have plenty to choose from, but Anatomy of a Shark stands out in combining a New York mob family with a young boy’s adoption, growing up with uncommon encounters, and eventual involvement in crime – albeit, of a different kind than he’s known all his life.
“From the start, it’s evident that the first-person narrator of these experiences harbors a wry sense of ironic humor about his circumstances and an astute assessment of not just the improbability of life, but its oddities…. Akins cultivates a unique voice that captures, more so than most mob crime stories, a sense of place, purpose, and street life .
“Readers seeking a very different kind of crime family story that simmers with social issues, ironic fun, and captivating interactions will appreciate, relish, and come to love Vinnie Renaldi in Anatomy of a Shark, a top recommendation because its character’s unique ‘voice’ stands heads and shoulders above other fictional mob stories.”
Don’t wait: Anatomy of a Shark is available now from Pisgah Press, on Amazon.com, and other online and brick-and-mortar bookstores.
